Addison's Disease Support Group
Addison's disease (also known as chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism) is a rare endocrine disorder. It is estimated that it affects about 1 to 2 in 100,000 people. It occurs when the adrenal glands, seated above the kidneys, fail to produce enough of the hormone cortisol and, sometimes, the hormone aldosterone

To carry my regular medicine I bought a keychain medicine holder and put a keychain clip thing on it. I just clipped the medicine holder onto my bag or self if I am wearing pants. Works like a charm.
Good luck and safe travels!
Have you bought your syringes yet? I strongly suggest the retractable needle ones... when/if you ever need to take an injection you will not have to worry about a "sharps" container to put it in afterward or your family will not have to wonder what to do with it,,to dispose of it properly.. when the injection is complete the needle automatically goes back into the plunger,,, POOF GONE!!! I believe they are about 30 cents each. The two times I've had to have an injection,,, they worked great,,...Hey prayers your way for a wonderfully fun and safe, healthy trip to Denver,,, Breathe in some of that Mountain air for me okay??? Blessings, ~Maggie~
My endo gave me needles and syringes.They are seperate...If I need an injection the have to be put together.I never thought about disposal.Will find out about retractable.Where did you get them.The Pharmacy would not give me anything because the endo did not prescibe them.
WAHOO Road Trip I'm SOOO excited.lets hope i do not have a repeat of last years road trip to wisconsin.
